After many years in storage, my wax collection has its own space. Had a small spot made for it in my new basement, the rest of the basement will be for my toy collection. I sill have some room for some more boxes! I shared this on my Facebook group “Vintage Wax and Packs” and twitter @josephacurcio yesterday and it got a lot of likes. Figured I would do it here as well!


Always looking for vintage wax boxes!

    Awesome, thank you for sharing! Those late 80s Topps boxes are tall compared to the Donruss & Fleer boxes.

    Very well done, looks great. These were my primary years of collecting as a kid and seeing these boxes definitely brings back the memories. For me, that’s what it’s all about.

    Really super how they fit in the shelf!

    Is that a newly finished basement? Looks like you'll have loads of wall space also.

    Looks awesome.

    Congratulations if your new basement - "it" looks great!

    Not the cards, but the toys will be covered by glass.

    Amazing how they all seem to fit perfectly in a custom made shelf sort of way. If only I could find the right shelf that doesn’t have extra space on the end that is useless. Sometimes I feel like I need to adjust my collecting interest to the kind of boxes that fit perfectly on my shelf. Too OCD? Lol
